Lounge access in Doha
Has anyone been through Doha recently? There is apparently now a charge for access to the Al Mourjan Business Lounge for (at least) Silver BAEC cardholders on QR flights. Is anyone aware of whether this applies to Gold / Emerald holders as well, and does it also depend on the class of travellers. Due to travel next month.

In normal conditions as a BAEC Silver, it's the Qatar Airways Business Class ( status ) Lounge or the Oryx Lounge ( contract ) lounge that you're invited to.
However, since April 2020, due to the closures of the QR Lounges at DOH, all lounge eligible people could use the Al Mourjan Lounge until further notice.
By the way, the QR Business/First Class ( status ) Lounge's have re-opened at DOH according to some reports but similar to gallagher 's experience, OW elites traveling in Y is still welcome to use the Al Mourjan Lounge.
